University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari vowed after last season's debacle that this year the bench would "be my friend." Sophomore center Willie Cauley-Stein's recent vanishing act has put that to the test.

After averaging 9.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.7 blocks in 27.6 minutes through the Wildcats' first 15 games, Cauley-Stein has managed a total of three points, 10 rebounds and two blocks in 46 minutes the past three games. He played just nine minutes Tuesday night against Texas A&M.
